Problem getting a template to work

Thursday 12 August 2004 2:41:43 pm

I am trying to get a custom template for the main page at http://intra.dalane-tidende.no/index.php . Below is what I have done to make it work. I't does not work so please help me if you can. I'll give you as much details as I can

<b>description at ez.no</b>

1. Bring up the administration interface. 
2. Click on the "Setup" tab. 
3. Click on "Templates" (in the menu on the left hand side).
4. A list of template files will appear.
5. Locate a file called "/node/view/full" and click on it. 
6. On the next page, simply click "Create New". 
7. Type in "full_view_welcome" into the template name field. 
8. Make sure the "Section" and "Class" dropdown boxes are set to "Any". 
9. Type in the identification number of the welcome-page node. 
10. Make sure that "Empty" is chosen in the "Base template on" section. Click create. 

<b>What I have done</b>
1. I found the Node ID, which is 2, here (See image)

2. To create a new template I click setup (oppsett) -> Templates (Maler) and then the /node/view/full.tpl file. I set the name and keys as seen on the image and click the button
http://www.encycmet.com/temp/ez2.gif

3. The file framside.tpl is now in the http://www.encycmet.com/temp/ez3.gif and can be seen in the view for /node/view/full.tpl as seen on the image at
http://www.encycmet.com/temp/ez3.gif

OK, now I thought that every change I did to this file would be changed on the main page (Node 2). Whatever I do with the file, nothing happens, nothing at all.

Anyone that can tell me what the problem is?

Thank you very much

Thank you for your suggestion. Yes I have cleared the cache. I click the "clear All caches" button before I check the site again.

Can you please check my procedure in my first post. Is this correct? Can there be a problem with the instalation?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Sem,

Your framside template should be the first (before the folder class override template).

After that clear *all* caches

Yes, your override should be before the folder class entry. You should be able to do this by specifying priority 1 and then press the update button for the template overrides in the admin folder.

Alternatively, you may do that by hand by editing the file override.ini.append for your siteaccess and put the framsid entry first (or at least before the folder class.

After that, clear all caches. You will get it to work :-)
